The third in a three part series on the vision of Fenway Church
Serving Nations
Since our church's inception, countless prophetic words have been given about our involvement in nations. Pictures of bridges being built between us and other nations mix with the words, “You will gather quickly in order to scatter.” It constantly rings in our hearts and minds.
The focus of God's purpose in this world is to make the name and power of His Son's Name, Jesus, known among every people group, tribe, family, and nation. Matthew 28 lays out clearly that God's intention-- from Adam, to Abraham, to Jesus, to us-- was to send his image bearers to the ends of the earth until the whole world was full of the knowledge of his glory.
Thus, we don't just live to love one another or to serve our own neighborhoods. We live to serve and love all the peoples of the world. Specifically, those who have yet to have a chance to know the love of Jesus and who will not unless someone goes to them. They are the last unreached people groups of the world.
We not only support our friends who have gone to lay down their lives to love and seek the transformation of neighborhoods across the globe, but each year, we are involved in sending our own members to areas of the world where these last unreached people groups live.
It has taken several years to get to the point where we can truly say we are beginning to scatter, but I am excited to know that within the next year or two, we will be sending out eight of our members to other countries and six of these members to the unreached nations of the world.
They will carry the same commitment to love others, preach the gospel, and seek the transformation of the nations and villages they will adopt; our own hearts, prayers, and money will travel with them as they lay down their lives like Jesus did for the sake of his unreached children.
This is the vision of our church. This is a cause worth living for.
